All the comments hinge on whether it is fundamentally wrong or abusive for people to have to work 12-hour shifts or significantly more than the current American 40-hour per week standard. It's not the absolute amount of work people hav

The next button points to the next cheatsheet, not the same cheatsheet. This site is a large collection of cheatsheets.

I love Mermaid. But my biggest pain point is having to manually wrap text to keep the shapes compact. It's glaringly obvious just looking at this cheatsheet. Incorporating an algorithm that figures out the optimal auto-wrapping for eac

Let's pretend for a moment that your ratios were true (i.e. that we actually have an efficient labor market), it has nothing to do with what anyone deserves , nothing to do with their worth . Do not conflate an economic system chosen

I'm not sure something counts as an "ecosystem" if all the pieces that play in that system are produced by the same entity. Feels to me like marketing BS.

You're making this harder than it actually is by conflating a bunch of things, comparing apples and oranges. Sets defined by type vs sets defined by lists of properties, specs, rules etc. For types, just draw the Venn diagrams: - The s

Yeah but what's the likelihood that an order like that by Stalin would be documented so explicitly if at all? What one would want to corroborate is the "the main reaction", which I presume to be the general public reaction, w

I'm not sure if you're saying that rust stdlib docs do this but documentation where all the examples are themselves runnable as tests and included in the CI test suite solves so many problems.

Yes, but as a thought experiment it is considered by many as the only way to make unbiased decisions about moral principles and how society should be structured. Moral philosopher John Rawls's uses the terms original position and ve

Capitalists claim to believe in free markets but private ownership of land is completely antithetical to the basic idea of a free market. In a market you cannot buy an infinite amount of something for a finite amount of money. But that&#x27

You writing skills will stop improving the more you depend on this. It's similar to people losing the ability to mentally map where they are or learn their own city by relying on map and routing apps. While map apps have made navigatio

What this does is put people at the mercy of property owners. In other words, simply to exist one must either own land or pay someone rent (if this was implemented everywhere which is how one should evaluate its morality). Reminds me of Ar

You just revealed your very biased agenda: > My version of the truth is based on reading verifiable historical examples of what happens under socialism, and what happens under freedom. Not novels of either. Here you fail not only in fact

They also say history is written by the victors. Historians don't have a monopoly on truth, nor are they "agenda free", both of which you imply in your many comments. Historians are humans who, try as they might to be "o

I believe a high point to comment ratio ranks a post higher, that a low ratio is considered a sign of contentiousness or low quality post.

No. Within a paragraph it would introduce a hard line break, e.g. like you'd use for poetry. You'd use two line breaks, i.e. a blank line, to start a new paragraph. In other words, the plain text analog to WYSIWYG.
